Mixtec region of Oaxaca's Mountains offers Biking and Hiking at
6500 feet
Oaxaca's tourist agency offers cabins and tent camping in a fertile
river valley in the village of Apoala.
The community of Santiago Apoala is
located at 6,460 feet above sea level in a
fertile river valley of great natural beauty
bounded by rocky cliffs and nourished by a
clear flowing stream.
The valley of Apoala is a popular tourist
destination for its cliffs, rock formations,
spectacular cascades, dirt roads for
mountain biking, camping, and caves, one
with a grotto that the visitors can enter with a
local guide.
Tourist lodging is available in tents or in
cabins built by the Government of the State
of Oaxaca along the banks of the stream that
comes down through a cleft in the high rock
escarpments at the southern end of the
valley. Campers can tent in a large flat
grassy area along the stream in the shadow
of the steep cliffs.
Days can be hot and the sun brittle in the
valley while the nights can be cool even in
summer. The cabins are open year round; in
the semi-tropical climate where there is
rarely frost.
The most important religious festival in
Apoala occurs during Easter week with a
parade through the streets during the mid
day on Good Friday, the Friday before
Easter. The Easter weekend is the busiest
time for the tourist cabins at Apoala and if
that is the week end that you go
accommodations should be booked
beforehand.
